Believe it or not, Erik, but people were driving into the sides of trains at unsignalled crossings at night. Sometimes they're called "idiot" stripes for a reason...
Aside from the cost of the property damage involved, wouldn't it be better to just let those idiots remove themselves from the gene pool?Harumph.

Railroads were involved for YEARS in the testing that led to this ruling, and you can well believe the major railroads at least were completely behind it - and driving it.
